About

About Anders Johnsson

I grew up in Sweden until I was 15, in a bi-lingual and bi-cultural house, and am the oldest of 5 (3 brothers, and one sister). I did spend some time in Michigan for a few grade levels, but mostly went to public school in Sweden. I had an early-on entreprenurial spirit, and did lots of door-to-door selling and taught a 4-month course on computers in the school lab on weekends to kids and adults in the community when I was 14. Some of my best memories was learning how to fly glider planes, biking to the local airport in the summer to take flying lessons.

I only worked with Anders for a short period of time, but actually met him several years before joining the company. He's a really solid person who has a genuine interest in helping people to succeed. His vision, knowledge of the K12 market, and passion for student safety is the reason I joined the company.

I have known Anders for a number of years before finally managing to hire him.

He is a perfect example of the senior sales VP that you need on your team. He is both knowledgeable and passionate about the IT security market, and instilled true leadership and a results driven culture in my sales teams.

A really great genuine guy, I only wish he was willing to work in the UK so that I could hire him again over here in my homeland.

I’ve known Anders since his days at Smoothwall when we met at a professional event and began discussing sales. Anders quickly became a respected colleague who provided advice and support on getting the sales operation running at my company. I watched as Anders successfully built up the sales operations at his last two companies and came to admire not only his accomplishments but also the level of integrity with which he always seems to approach business. He is an extremely hard worker as evidenced by the level of time, energy and commitment I saw him put into his job. He has a passion for sales that shows. I was never quite to a point where I could try to hire Anders, but long wanted him to work for my company to build a sales operation.

Anders also spotted the synergy between my company and Securly and on several occasions worked to put together meetings between the founders/CEOs. His persistence and patience came to fruition in 2019 and ultimate resulted in my company’s acquisition by Securly which included the employment of my entire team. This has already become a highly successful venture based on just the first six months of sales and pipeline and we now both work as members of the leadership team at the company. I’m thankful to Anders for having the wisdom to see the opportunity and help put things together to make it happen.
